Chapter 727 – Return of the King (Complete)

When the coalition, including Gukmok, arrived to take back the fortress.
What they saw was a scene of heroes from all over the world being horribly violated.

“Ugh. Sigh. “Stop, stop-“

-Kwasik!!!

“Ugh, uhuh!!”

The bank in the man’s hand floated in the air and fell to the ground.
The ground splits apart. The princess, caught by her hair, rose again, scattering stone dust.

“…”

-Rattle.

The beautiful princess who proudly led the alliance is humiliated in front of the hunters.
Thanks to her strong body, her head was not broken or her body was chopped to pieces. A terrible state in which Danjeon’s magic is leaking out.

“Eww… Ugh.”

The hope for the future recognized by the World Tree kept uttering only the sound of dying.

-Nonsense.
-The princess… She can’t do anything… ?
-What on earth were these guys doing here?

Amidst the chaos, no one gave up their lives. Deciding that there would be no aid or salvation for her, the princess closed her eyes tightly, filled with her misery.

The hand that was holding on to her man’s arm slowly loosened.

“Escape. Go.”

The princess then sobbed, acknowledging her sacrifice.

20 minutes. The time the bank gained by using any means possible against Lee Si-heon.
She was the best of the national trees, and perhaps Lee Si-heon’s only opponent.

“Ji… Well, there is absolutely no chance of winning. Please, we have to save up our strength until the World Tree’s protection comes down – huh!?”

The bank’s words are cut off midway.

This was because Lee Si-heon’s forearms hugged the princess and bound her with all his might.
A faint moan flowed through the battlefield as the oxygen was being drained from her lungs.

King Mokryeong’s red eyes slowly licked the princess’s body.

“Ugh… Breathe…”

Her body, which was outstanding in all its prowess and magical power, was so strong that she could not let it fall into her hands.
A woman who is more threatening because she has power.

As she swung her feet and embraced the struggling body of the princess with all her might, she quickly became quiet.
The shoes she was wearing slipped and fell on the top of her foot.

-Tuk.

Who is invading and who is resisting?
Although the objects were reversed, the Union had no time to feel humiliated.

“No one.”

As the mouth of the man covered in bark opened, the bank’s eyes turned to him.

“No one is helping you. “What on earth were you fighting for?”
“…”

Are you not thinking anything after seeing this?
A certain amount of magical power was used to suppress her strength, but no one was able to overcome this and try to save the princess.

All of the subordinates loyal to the bank lost consciousness due to a broken power supply, so it was only natural.
What was certain was that the Allied forces gathered here had not even made a proper pledge to sacrifice their lives.

“Hundred and Princess. Bank.”

Answer me.
The magic power flowing in slightly restored the bank’s stamina.

Bank, who had regained some of his stamina, said with a sigh.

“… “What do you want to ask?”

The intimidated instinct automatically causes one to use respect.
Perhaps this is what it means to be physiologically dominated, but Banks was so overwhelmed that it was difficult to speak.

-Jeokjeok.

A strange smile appears on Lee Si-heon’s lips.
The face with the hideous bark sticking to it was so shocking that it made me feel disgusted.

“Why would a bitch like you fight for them?”
“What does it mean?”
“No, I’m just curious.”

It’s creepy that my voice cracks.
To the king who asked the question, the princess endured her disgust and continued her words.

“… You don’t need to know. I won’t be on your side… “Compromise is even more important.”

Who would fall for this man knowing what would happen?
Even after falling into the fiery pit of hell, the princess remained calm.

However, faster calculations mean easier appeasement. All you had to do was figure out the topic and the rest would take care of itself.

“… ?”

Just as the bank was about to react to Lee Si-heon’s appearance, which he thought was funny.
A loud call from far away made the two people respond.

-Purrrr!

A fire demon that surrounds the surroundings.
Saku and Soo-yeon suddenly jumped out and joined forces and instantly burrowed into Lee Si-heon’s arms.

“Hmph!”

The magic power of the spirit summoned by Saku swirls along with Suyeon’s sword strike that draws flower petals.
The sword, which resembled a crescent moon, took a graceful curve and aimed at the giant king’s neck.

-Suddenly.

A branch is cut off by a slanted blow.
Lee Si-heon, who turned his head to avoid him, stepped back and glanced at the two.
The bank slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor. Saku ran like a leopard and attacked the king as if biting the back of his neck.

“Siheon… Award! Stop doing this. “There’s no need to fight like this!”

Saku whispers from a close distance.

“There will definitely be a misunderstanding… Release that scary face. Please.”

As the branches and claws collided with each other, the magical power of various colors flew out like sparks.

-Park! Parbat!

Saku turns his body several times in the air like a spinning wheel and kicks his body.
When Lee Si-heon, who blocked without resistance, tried to extend his hand to restrain Saku, Su-yeon rushed at him head on.

“Suyeonsang, stop!”

Just as I was about to start a conversation. Saku shouts, worried that he’s threatening him.
Suyeon raised her sword without stopping.

“… !”

That moment. Lee Si-heon’s body accelerates as if time has stopped.
As the huge monster moved, a noise that surpassed the speed of sound shook my ears.

-Boo!

Space is torn apart.
A crater shook the entire fortress, and the surrounding area was devastated by just accelerating.

Saku and Su-yeon, who concentrated all their attention, could barely follow Lee Si-heon’s movements and took up defense.

-D, clatter!

A heavy body with trembling branches sweeps away. I am swept away by the magic power that bursts out in vain in my resistance.

The jet-black magic spreads out, erasing the color of the two people. What blocks the aftermath is the Union shield that arrived later.

Elm.
And, the white hero.

-Flash!

A flood of white magic rushes against the king’s energy.
Sooyeon and Saku, who were caught up, looked behind them in surprise. Jeong Si-woo then approached and made eye contact with the man.

“… “It’s so bad.”

Compassion rather than anger.
He, who had been called by the world tree, looked at Lee Si-heon and stuck out his tongue.

The crown pulsates, wary of Jeong Si-woo.
The body, which has achieved transcendental speed, turns red and emits smoke. The monster stopped for a moment as if to cool off, looked at Jeong Si-woo, and raised the corners of its mouth as if it knew what was coming.

“…”

Become stronger.
It had become stronger.

Jeong Si-woo’s strength is completely different from when he fought the king of trees.
The church’s rumor that it is receiving the power of all world trees is not false.
The young man wearing heavy white armor held the holy sword tightly and held out the tip of the sword to the man with a bitter expression.

“Siheon.”
“…”

We’ve had a conversation before.
In the end, the two are destined to become enemies.
Although no direct words were exchanged, when the time comes, we will eventually fight according to our will.

– Jeopuk.

Let Jeong Si-woo step forward. As if by magic, the morale of the army rose.
The ambitious hunters gather artifacts, magic, and skills to prepare to fight back. The monsters were surrounded all at once.

“All troops!!”

Elm, standing next to Jeong Si-woo, shouted energetically.

“Charge!!!!!”

An army rushing in all at once. Saku’s surprised voice was drowned out, and a large force of force was directed at him to subdue the monster named Lee Si-heon.

The king glanced around his surroundings.

【 No. 】

Then, he muttered with the force of swallowing up everything around him.

【Not yet. 】

Words that no one will understand.
The sight of the crown being eroded is as scary as it is terrifying.

The power behind it is enough to kill everyone in this place if he puts his mind to it.
But the arrogant king made another choice that would twist his fate.

-I flinch.

Let your hands wiggle. There was a flash.

The king’s body, which moved as space was distorted, swept around in an instant and pierced the hunters’ darts.

Countless branches branched off from the back and penetrated the abdomen of dozens or hundreds of people.

─Kiririk, kkirik?

The creepy voice was definitely that time.
The power of a man like a nightmare.

The first to react to that movement was neither Jeong Si-woo nor Elm.

“… !”

Sensing a crisis, Soo-yeon jumped in and raised her sword in sync with the monster’s movements, which it could not follow at all.
An incredible sixth sense that unleashed his grandfather’s potential.

Scattering magical power. I tried to cut off the branch that was spreading out with sword energy.
The flower has not yet bloomed.

-Smurf.

【 Bamboo and Death Incident (竹事難事) 】

Innumerable forms of evil.

The sharp tree trunks sticking out through the ground tightly captured Suyeon’s body.
It happened in the blink of an eye, with no time to resist.

-Sooo!!

Suyeon struggled and rolled on the floor as she felt the bamboo spear piercing her stomach.

“… !”

Is it a hallucination?
The penetrating wound in the lower abdomen is not visible, and the lower abdomen is collapsed.

Suyeon’s magical power burst out like a runaway on top of the Danjeon, which was shattered so that it could never be squeezed out again.

“… Huh, huh?!”

All of the nearby hunters held their stomachs and fainted.
Lee Si-heon, who achieved an intangible attack, was nowhere to be seen. Su-yeon desperately crawled on the floor, trying hard to control the flowing magic power.

“Oh, shit. “Keuuuuu!!”

If you don’t deal with it, you may not be able to live as a hunter for the rest of your life.

Out of fear, I tried to revive the shattered Danjeon, but the Danjeon in my lower abdomen was already damaged.
Sooyeon, crouched, let out a hard breath and clenched her pale fists.

Lee Si-heon left with the final attack completed.
Personnel who were not attacked urgently rushed to treat the fallen hunters.

“Su-yeon-sang!”

Saku also quickly approached and checked Suyeon’s complexion.

She had already lost her consciousness.
I had no idea what I was doing.

“… Ruler. Wait a minute, Soo Yeon-sang… !!”

Below the fortress where King Molyeong disappeared. What remains are trees that cannot recover.
What did it mean to say that it was not yet time?
Jeong Si-woo, who was among those who were not attacked, frowned bitterly as he watched the people around him venting their pain.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

“Stop.”

Monsters with bizarre shapes turned their heads at the sound of Buttercup’s voice.

“… We retreat. “Now is not the time.”

Should there really be a chance to kill a man like that?
I couldn’t help but wonder such questions.

No matter how much it was a surprise attack, it would be a different story if they were able to pull off something like that against the Coalition.

It was not strange to see that the power of the Mokryeong King was already equal to that of the World Tree and Flower.

‘The desire to kill is like a chimney.’

Anemone Buttercup clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
The lover’s enemy. She exulted, saying she could repay him immediately, but she is indeed a king.
We must secure more precise and reliable means.

“Her.”

At this, the clone of Cistus, who was sitting behind her, looked at her pitifully.

“Are you a coward too?”
“… Yes?”

Cistus asked Minaria, who looked back with a somewhat bewildered expression, in a nervous voice.

“Can you do something like that twice? “I think the answer is to push harder now.”

I’m saying that because I don’t know.
Lee Si-heon’s power isn’t just the crown.

No matter how much mental power it took, I didn’t even break a sweat while causing that mess.

“You don’t know that.”
“…”

If you fail.
There is no next time.

As much as you promise revenge, you must be careful.
Around the time when the cold eyes of the buttercup gave a warning to Cistus.

Since when did the location become known?

An unidentified magical energy began to gather in the sky.

– Coo coo coo coo coo!

Countless meteorites pierce the atmosphere and come down toward the base.
Magic cannons that might have been exploded by a group of wizards attacked at once.

– Quad deuk!

The expanded barrier lasted only for a short time.
As the inevitable blow was struck to the hastily constructed base, the temperature rose and Cistus’ eyes narrowed.

“… Under. “You do all kinds of things.”

The World Tree is not the only one issuing warnings.
To be able to emit this much power even with a single body… How on earth is this possible?

Cistus said with a puzzled look on his face and with a sigh.

“Therefore. Wouldn’t it be better if I killed him quickly?”

The prophecy came true.
Now I had no choice but to accept it that way.
